Two more days passed, and Evelyn Ford knew she had lost. She'd bet the outside patrol would leave within three days, but to her surprise, their numbers had increased rather than dwindled.
Quincy was the happiest of all. He was certain he would win and had already told everyone about the bet.
"Everyone, bear witness! I bet the people outside will be gone in seven days. It's been three days now, so Evelyn Ford has already lost. All that's left is the ultimate showdown between me and Ronan Kendrick."
Quincy even started canvassing, encouraging everyone to place bets on who would ultimately win: him or Ronan Kendrick.
"I'm betting on Ronan Kendrick to win." The moment Evelyn Ford voiced her choice, Quincy looked over at her.
"Evelyn Ford, I'd advise you to bet on me. I'm feeling very confident this time."
Everyone chuckled at Quincy's display of confidence.
